Social media reaction was swift and furious Tuesday after President Donald Trump posted a Truth Social message telling Vladimir Putin he has protected the Russian president from "really bad things."

"What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD," Trump wrote. "He’s playing with fire!"

The Bulwark's Sam Stein expressed his incredulity on X, posting, "Trump just casually telling everyone he's been helping out Putin?" while anti-Trump Republican group The Lincoln Project declared, "There it is. Trump confirms what we've said all along - he's been protecting Putin this entire time."

To the Republican controlled US Senate not once but twice that had the means and the power to impeach this traitor and the US Supreme Court........... you gave this traitor immunity, so when things like this come out you and your Federalist Society lackies can pound sand........you have innocent lives from Ukraine deaths on your hands..........

1. ALL ENEMIES

Foreign and DOMESTIC.
(Sick to death of Republicans, MAGA, Tea Party and their ilk... detest them all. Burn in hell.)

[malaise]

3. The T word

That is all

[Wingus Dingus]

2. This is actually treason. Russia is our enemy and we

are involved in NATO activity against them. This should be it for him, but it won't be.

[harumph]

5. R is not a "declared" enemy - so it doesn't matter to Repubs.

[slightlv]

6. This "definition" needs to change for modern times.

The last "declared war" we had? I think it was WWII. Everything else has been called anything BUT a declared war... but soldiers fighting and a country being destroyed by that firepower is a war, no matter how you call it. Also, in modernity, we have to look beyond physical acts of war and destruction and move on to the types of war that can harm us even more -- computer espionage, terrorism, and exploits.

9. But Trump argues Venezuela invading the US, so we're 'at war' to justify his illegal actions with immigrants

Amazing how GOP views on traitors and war varies depending on who's doing what to whom.

[Wonder Why]

15. Some of the Repubs ARE enemies, also. Don't think Rubio doesn't know and support what's going on?

[dchill]

30. Close enough for government work:

"We begin bombing in five minutes..."
From Wikipedia...

"We begin bombing in five minutes" is the last sentence of a controversial, off-the-record joke made by U.S. President Ronald Reagan in 1984, during the Cold War. While preparing for a scheduled radio address from his vacation home in California, Reagan joked with those present about outlawing and bombing Russia. The joke was not broadcast live, but was recorded and later leaked to the public. The Soviet Union criticized the joke, as did Reagan's opponent in the 1984 United States presidential election, Walter Mondale.

The Republican party has always been ready to call Russia the enemy. Until just recently.

8. Yepper this jerk has committed treason so many times if you or I were to do this we would be in Florence prison

[DENVERPOPS]

25. McNichols is at Colorado Super Max

where he will likely stay until his natural Death.....and he did one millionth of what Trump has done, along with all the Republican Senators that failed to impeach him, and the rest of the Trump CABAL......

[GoodRaisin]

4. "He's playing with fire".

Putin is laughing at Krasnov’s hot air.

[DENVERPOPS]

26. You can bet Putin approved of his comments

just so Trump could get back on his feet after taking so many recent hits........

[sop]

7. "Collusion?...There's no collusion...There was absolutely no collusion...Nobody's found any collusion at any level."

11. TY! What are Mump and Putin fighting about?

I saw a headline yesterday on here but I didn't read it and couldn't find it again?

No Kings Hands Off! 💙🌈

[tanyev]

20. Donny said, "I thought you liked me," and Vlad just laughed and laughed.

[Cha]

22. Mahalo, tanyev! But what did Putin

do to make Mump think he "wasn't liked" by the Puppet master?

[tanyev]

23. Well, they had their 2 hour "You hang up!" "No, you hang up!" phone call,

and then this happened:

Trump says he is 'very surprised' Putin has ramped up attacks on Ukraine

Trump probably actually thought he was an equal partner in that relationship. Surprise!

[Cha]

24. Lied the Fake potus Real Traitor to the USA.

At one point recently Mump said this.. "It's not my problem"...

If mump is so concerned about Ukraine.. Send them Weapons!

TY for the link!

12. Lol, dump as a bag of rocks and a big mouth-anus.

13. In any sane world impeachment would begin immediately

And take less than 24 hours to convict. He just openly admitted that he put Putin and Russia's interest above anyone else's. That is treason.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

14. Of course

But MAGAts actually support Putin so they see nothing wrong with this.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

32. Yep.

[LymphocyteLover]

16. Insane. Every day is something worse. Fuck this evil motherfucker to hell.

[nowforever]

17. Trump

Is arrogant, stupid and traitorous. His party still lacks the moral courage and integrity to stand up to this vile and dangerous man. Is it their own greed and lust that stops them or does it just reflect the nature of their own essence. Future generations will look back at these times as the beginning of the dissolution of humanity.

18. Russia W-A-S listening!

Russia WASN'T a ruse!

[Mountain Mule]

19. The penalty for treason is DEATH!

T***p should have already died many times over.

27. All the world's a stage

Here's Donald

[Ol Janx Spirit]

28. What REALLY BAD things? This is just another lie. More BS from The Wizard of Ooze. That's...

...what makes it not be treason. It is also why Vladimir hasn't changed anything he is doing. He knows there is no sword of Damocles that the Orange Idiot is keeping from coming down on him--partly because you have to feel like the Kremlin has eyes and ears on everything the dolt does through being so incredibly careless and stupid about everything.

If anyone knows the BS that is flowing out of the Whitehouse it is Putin.

[Marcuse]

29. If only there was someone with constitutional oversight authority over the Executive Branch.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

31. RW media and Republicans in Congress are run by Russians.

[Jit423]

33. I remember Rubio telling us that a few years ago. nt

[Festivito]

35. Russian money. Money talks, ... and out-talks... US.

MSM, Government, Influencers, ...

[Festivito]

34. Nobody has been harder on Russia than ... they guy who supported Putin!-)

Oh gawd. We're both going down under... under China. I'd add: I guess, but I guess I know.

[Jack Valentino]

36. Every so often, he accidentally tells the truth!

[BradBo]

37. Did we not nuke Russian because Trump said no? Putins soooo lucky. Fucking idiot.
